Israel at War: Week 53

Here’s a summary of significant events in Israel now:

1. US Gives Israel 30 Days to Address Gaza Aid Crisis, Threatens to Curb Weapons Supply; “Letter from Blinken and Austin lists series of demands, including allowing 350 trucks daily into the Strip, ensuring that north Gaza isn’t ‘isolated;’ deadline falls days after US election.”

2. “IDF Says it arrested 3 Hezbollah commandos; is interrogating them for intel.”

“Lebanese PM: ‘I have American assurances that Israeli strikes in Beirut will be reduced.”

3. “Israel’s Growth Expands at slower pace as the grueling war takes an economic toll”

“Israel’s GDP is revised down to 0.3 percent in the April to June period, as the year long war with Hamas puts a strain on exports, according to statistics bureau data.”

4. “4 soldiers killed in drone strike, as families ask why there was no warning.” The four soldiers killed and fifty-eight others wounded, were eating dinner when the explosives-laden drone hit the dining room.”

5. “Researchers uncover hidden tomb under ‘Indiana Jones’ landmark in Petra.”

That’s a look at Israel following the first anniversary of the Israel-Hamas War. There is much to stay abreast of and to bring to God in prayer regarding Israel, its people, its military, and its leaders. Above all pray for a just, lasting peace and a complete victory for Israel over its terrorist foes.
